Fredius War of the Ring Mission Maps

<< < (19/27) > >>

Fredius:
Added "Battle under the Trees - Old Forest Road" to the list, because I want to give the player the chance to play with Dol Guldurs forces as well.

Fredius:
Good evening everyone :),

Today I'm releasing the mission map which I had announced recently; "Battle Under The Trees - Old Forest Road". I had this mission in mind for quite some time, but I didn't know exactly how it should proceed. I wanted to include Tauriel in the War of the Ring, and by making it an Evil mission I got exactly what I needed: idea's and motivation. Finally a Battle Under the Trees mission not played by the Good forces eh, and as a cherry on top, you get to discover Tauriel's fate xD.

In any case here is the download link: http://www.moddb.com/games/battle-for-middle-earth-ii-rise-of-the-witch-king/addons/battle-under-the-trees-old-forest-road. You can find installation instructions in the first post!

Thank you for this cool new map! I love the story and I was so happy to play a new map!

I have to say it was way too easy...Compared to other maps you created this one was not a big challenge :D I always had like 1400cp, even when there was the big elven army.

Loved the map anyway, but it could be harder. Could you create a map like this for the elven faction? Or Imladris?

I'd love to defend with Tauriel :D!

The_Necromancer0:
A well executed map as usual, a pleasure to play and a pleasure to write about. Feedback follows:

-Loved the camp system, definitely think I'd be nice to have one or two more, perhaps trolls if you also give Mirkwood some buildings to defend themselves with

-A bit too easy at the moment, a good counterbalance would be to add more archers (those guys can shred through units) forcing the player to actively seek and destroy them, always keeping them on their toes

-Killing Tauriel is too easy in a way that you can just rush her with heroes without suffering the consequences, there should be two victory conditions: the destruction of that entire elven force and Tauriel's death

-The heroes are nice but it feels kinda useless to have them without abilities, but at the same time giving them their abilities would just ease the game. Would it be possible to give them like random abilities from throughout the game (like War chant, fast march, ect...) Just abilities from other heroes that cna be used without imbalancing the map. Just maybe one each would allow the player to have to make a choice on whether to use them near their army or seek out and destroy archers.

Fredius:
Thanks for the feedback guys (and especially thanks for the article necro xD). I will surely take it in mind when I update the map again :).

I don't think I will, you must know that the voice files are limited, especially for female characters. However this is kinda the Evil version of my Lothlorien invasion map, because that map also focusses on the ambushing aspect :). Also don't forget that I'm trying to make this as true to the lore as possible, so with the Battle Under the Trees the order goes as follows:

- At some time before the siege of Minas Tirith, the forces of Dol Guldur, led by Khamul and the Mouth of Sauron, attempt to cross the Old Forest Road, with the goal of attacking the realm of king Thranduil. They succeed in this, and kill the captain of the Mirkwood Rangers, Tauriel, in the process. The Mouth of Sauron goes back to Mordor and leaves the invasion of Mirkwood over to Khamul.

- Afterwards, Thranduil received the sad news about Tauriels death and the invasion of Dol Guldur's forces. He assembles his royal army, and marches to the south to meet Khamul and his army, while at the same time the battle of the Pelennor Fields is being fought. Here he utterly defeats them.

- Meanwhile, another force of Dol Guldur failed to penetrate deeply enough into the woods of Lothlorien. Their attacks have been repelled two times, and the third time will be the hardest for the Elves, because not only will they have to fight Dol Guldur, but reïnforcements from Mordor and Moria as well. With the help of Galadriel, they eventually succeed in defending Lothlorien. Both Celeborn and Galadriel now prepare for their counterattack, and with a huge fleet of small boats, they sail through the Anduin towards Dol Guldur.

- While Galadriel and Celeborn are preparing for their final siege of Dol Guldur, Thranduil and his forces arrive to aid Lothlorien in besieging the fortress. As a result, the fortress get's destroyed, and Dol Guldur ceases to be a threat ever again. Thus concluding the chapter of the Battle Under the Trees series.

Ofcourse Dol Guldur is not ready yet, but now you can more or less see the pattern that my maps follow ;).
